Building the connective tissue for agents.

I build route.tools, a router for the commodity infrastructure agents call: web search, scraping, document parsing, media generation, transcription, embeddings, and code sandboxes.

Building a router means living in every provider's docs, pricing pages, and failure modes at once. This journal is where I write that research down—honest comparisons, real workload math, and patterns that keep agents running when a vendor has a bad day.

The prices and quality scores come from the same open-source catalog the router reads. If something is wrong, open an issue. I would rather fix it than defend it.
